Purple Dawn Till Dusk : Dearest Through The Time Chapter 423

"Are you serious asking me about Ye Bai?" Xiao Jun asked him.
"Did you see me joking around?" Xiao Tianyao asked him back with stoic face and alarmingly calm.
Xiao Jun walked to the couch and sat there comfortably. It wasn't the first time he confronted his brother. He was still considering what he should tell him.
"So, do you really believe Gong Xu's words?" Xiao Jun started pouring water for himself.
"You didn't answer my question." Xiao Jun grounded his words between his teeth, he didn't like this when his brother intentionally made a dilly dally chat like this.
"Ye Bai is Master Ye Xiu younger brother." Xiao Jun blurted out.
"Your Master younger brother?"
"Yes." Xiao Jun nodded.
"Why I don't remember anything about him?" Xiao Tianyao prodded.
He didn't understand what happened to him. How could it's possible that he had forgotten those person who had met before? Completely! Something wrong must have happened.
"I don't know." Xiao Jun shrugged innocently. "You have to ask yourself, why do you forget about it. Don't ask me."
"You avoid the answer Jun." Xiao Tianyao's eyes flashed with anger. "I have known you so well, do you think I can't tell about your attitude right now?"
"Tianyao, you are not making sense now."
"You clearly know something."
"I don't."
"You lie right in my face Jun and I don't appreciate that." Xiao Tianyao said sternly.
Xiao Jun held Xiao Tianyao sharp glared. He knew that he wouldn't be able to conceal it any longer, but he didn't want his brother learned the truth as well.
"Yang Yu!!!" Xiao Tianyao shouted to the door, still didn't avert his eyes from his brother.
In the next second Yang Yu had appeared in front of Xiao Tianyao, he bowed and cupped his hands in respect to both brothers.

He stole a glance to the livid expression on his master's face and curious enough to know, what was happening between them that made Xiao Tianyao so furious.
"Find out about someone named Ye Bai. He is my brother's master, Ye Xiu's younger brother, I want all the detail!" Xiao Tianyao gave his order.
"Yes, master." Yang Yu bowed and waited for Xiao Tianyao to speak again.
"Jun, if I heard there is someone trying to interfere with this investigation, then I will come after you and I will not be polite." Xiao Tianyao was so furious right now to even consider Xiao Jun as his brother.
Xiao Jun had hid something from him and refused to let him know, not to mention he was protecting Gong Xu, the person that clearly was his enemy, right before his eyes and now he was playing dumb, avoiding all of his questions.
And if he was going to impede this investigation, he was someone that didn't deserve his trust. After all the years of hardship and all that they had gone through, his brother was still trying to hide something from him. Moreover, it related to him.
Xiao Jun sighed, he closed his eyes. "Are you sure you want to know about this?" He opened his eyes and looked at Xiao Tianyao with unreadable expression.
Xiao Tianyao didn't answer his question. His answer was very obvious and Xiao Jun didn't need to question him about this.
"Ye Bai is part of Greenhill Mountain people." Xiao Jun explained.
"I don't believe this Jun." Xiao Tianyao balled his fist to suppress his anger. "You really work with many people that I don't know. Do you want to say, Gong Xu is working for you as well? So that's why you didn't want me to kill him?"

"No. He doesn't." Xiao Jun replied.
However, the image of Xiao Jun and Gong Xu were talking face to face on the edge of the cliff flashed right before his eyes.
"Are you sure about that?" Xiao Tianyao scoffed disdainfully. "So, where is this Ye Bai?"
"He is in our Western Fortress now." Xiao Jun answered truthfully.
The Western Fortress was their military concentration. They would attack Xinghe from west, continued to invade Q city, L city and then the Capital City.
Probably Xiao Tianyao didn't realize about this yet, but Ye Bai was part of the rescue team that came in the Mountain Sui Sword Sect. He must be too focused looking for Senja and Xiao Jun, to notice Ye Bai presence.
However, it didn't mean Xiao Tianyao would recognize him directly if both of them meet. They had never met again after what had happened to Luna.
"Jun, if it wasn't Gong Xu who had killed Luna, then… it's him?" Xiao Tianyao narrowed his eyes dangerously. "You don't want to tell me because it was him, right?"
Xiao Tianyao's gaze was hardened when he saw Xiao Jun didn't answer his question.
"What now Jun!?"

Silhouette
WARNING: THIS STORY HAS A SLOW START. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. We all grew up hearing stories about heroes and villains, but what would we do if we were to be part of one? One night, a bioweapon escaped from its laboratory in Zalcien, only to die in a dark alley. One night, a young man lent a helping hand, only to die alone in the dark. One night, a deity of death saw two lost souls and offered one a second chance in the other's body. Now a strange creature made of darkness, James has to deal with his new form in a strange new world where superpowers, heroes and villains are commonplace, far away from his home. Watch as he learns how to use his powers, as he meets allies and enemies and how, when facing the paths of heroism and villainy, he chooses a third way somewhere in between. Follow the story of James, a lost Earthling soul, as he becomes Silhouette, the mysterious power in the shadows. Greetings fellow humans. This is my first story on Royal Road and my first long-term project written in English, so I do hope you will have some mercy in your heart when reading. So, as you may have understood, this is a story with super-heroes - which is quite ironic for my first story considering all of the other ones planned are fantasy - and as such will take place in a modern-like setting. Despite dark themes and gory scenes making their way into the story, it is still a super-hero world with the logic that matches, so expect characters to survive nuclear explosions without a scratch and yet to get defeated by a rubber ducky - as well as similar dark humor, thus the comedy part.

This is the story of the quite Ash the slave turned personal servant of the daemon princess Lucy Darkheart. This is very much a work in progress so please understand if there's any mistakes or errors. Not only that but I am a novice so that kind of thing is to be expected. Thank you! Edit: Updates are whenever I make one or two new chapters so expect them to be as inconstant as a dragons fire breath. *Tags and Genres may be added as the story progresses. I have a Twitter now cause it would not stop bugging me when I wanted to look at news for a game, the link is here, https://twitter.com/JustAPhoenix2 . I don't know if it works or not on the edit screen, but you can copy/paste it anyway. I may do stuff there like give insight to some of the more trivial parts of the characters lives. (That refers to ALL character, not just Ash.)
